Learning Acceleration Support Opportunities (LASO): Cycle 3

Partnering for Planning and Implementation Support, Strong Foundations School Improvements PLC Supports, and Instructional Leadership: Observation, Feedback & DDI.

Insight Education Group is proud to be an approved technical assistance provider for the Texas Education Agency's LASO 3 programs. Through these grants, we support Texas LEAs in the following areas:

Strong Foundations Planning and Implementation

We work alongside district and campus teams to develop and implement research-based math and literacy frameworks. Our support includes:

Providing high-quality professional learning (HQPL) on research-based instructional strategies (RBIS) for math and literacy.
Strengthening comprehensive communication and support structures for the implementation of Texas Open Educational Resources (OER).
Establishing cohesive monitoring systems to ensure widespread buy-in and impactful learning across the district.

Strong Foundations School Improvement PLC Support

We provide technical assistance to LEAs through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to ensure the high-fidelity implementation of Texas Open Education Resource (OER) instructional materials. Our support is ideal for LEAs seeking additional implementation guidance for Texas OER materials in:

K-5 Reading Language Arts
K-5 Math
6-8 Math
Algebra I

We facilitate PLCs that focus on internalizing these materials, including training and gradual release support for campus PLC facilitators. Additionally, we offer extra assistance to Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI), and Additional Targeted Support (ATS) campuses to ensure alignment with research-based instructional strategies.

Instructional Leadership Pathway 4 – Observation, Feedback, and Data-Driven Instruction (DDI)

We support district and campus teams in implementing non-OER instructional materials by aligning key practices within the Effective Schools Framework (ESF):

Campus instructional leaders use established tools and processes to conduct observations, identify trends, and track progress over time.
Campus instructional leaders determine the frequency of observations based on teacher needs and student performance on formative assessments.
Campus instructional leaders lead observation debrief conversations within 2-3 school days of an observation, focusing on implementing high-leverage goals or action steps.
Observation debrief conversations include follow-ups on prior goals, clear modeling, and opportunities to practice (ESF 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3, 5.2.4).

Proven Statewide Partnerships

Our Texas-based team is trained in research-based instructional practices and has a deep understanding of the Texas education landscape. We are an approved Texas Education Agency partner with experience supporting over 25 LEAs statewide.
